they're running for re-election in 2014. >> do you vote based upon one issue or do you look at a variety of issues? same thing about the issue of choice. there are some people out there who say i am only going to vote based upon whether or not you are pro-choice or pro-life. those are single voter issues. when you look at polling data, you don't have a significant number of single issue voters in america. they are saying, hey, i might be for same-sex marriage or against it or pro-life or pro-choice, if it's about finances, i might choose a different decision. >> i want to thank roland for making my point for me. president obama is engaging in what we like to call hubris. george w. bush and karl rove thought they had a permanent majority. it wasn't that permanent. ronald reagan's majority didn't last forever either. the simple truth is the more successful you are when you win a big victory, it also means democrats are representing silicon valley billionaires and struggling immigrants in the inner city. you represent both of those groups, there are tensions in your coalition and that coali

that's why the president came out after the election saying not playing that game. not going to renegotiate. the white house is now prepared to say they concede on that principle for three months, we'll keep our stance unchanged beyond that, and republicans will yield again and we'll get a longer-term extension. >> hopefully it will diffuse market fears about a debt default. the question is what the markets have to say about these gyrations in washington. let's bring in the president of official funds, gentlemen, great to have you with us. >> grit to eat to be here. >> the dow is on multi-year highs, at what strange will wall street say the heck with it. >> the point i like to make in comparison is what happened in december of 2007 and the first part of 2008, the dow industrial average was lagging the transportation average, which was raging forward. and the recession had already begun in december of 2007. the point i would make is neither the market nor the dow jones transportation average has been a good predictor of recessions turning. that's the case as well. >>

we've had that next election. the president has been re-elected for four years. members here have been re-elected. we have this challenge now in front of us but continuing with the status quo, governing via crisis, failing to address our spending problem must be unacceptable. 2013 is the year. 2014, we're back in another election. we all know that the precious six to nine to 12 months that lay before us is the time post-election, with the president's re-election and new members here, this is the time we have to step up and address our debt and deficit problem. if we don't do so now, most experts who look at this -- and i'm not an economist -- but most economists, whether they're liberal or conservative, whether they are nonpartisan or partisan, whether they are ideological or nonideological have virtually all come to the conclusion that unless we address this now in 2013, with an election year in 2014, 2015 will be too late. we have seen what's happening in europe, we see what's happening in japan, we see what's happening around the world, a world hungry for amer

>> reporter: well, you recall that the elections, the battles i should say, richard murdoch and todd akin in indiana and missouri, those two guys were soundly defeated based on their pro-life stances in very inopportune comments they made about rape. the left used that to tremendous effect to diminish their chances but to tie them to the republican party as a whole. in that context it will be very interesting to see what rand paul has to say. he has his eyes set, perhaps, some are speculating on the white house in 2016. he has a bit more of a nuanced approach. he believes in the absolute pro-life position except in those cases of rape an incest. so we'll be watching what he has to say today. very, very closely. martha: doug, thank you very much. for more on the context of this, let's take a look at some of the numbers. bill: yeah, last year's march for life rally was estimated at 400,000 people. more state level restrictions on abortions were passed in 2012 than in any previous year. stats show the rate of abortions has been declining over the last decade. martha: new mexico lawmaker
